On the other hand, it doesn't have unified support. If Warren or Sanders is the nominee, there will be more money put into defending it and making a unified health care pitch in general. I also think Sanders is a good salesman for these kinds of programs because the shortcoming he has compared to Warren -- inability to parse out policy details as well as she can -- is also a strength of his by distilling why a program is essential for a first world country in a very easy-to-follow way.

The right-wing infobubble isn't what's brought down M4A in polling. It's now being debated. People know it means the elimination of crappy private insurance but are used to crappy private insurance. The popularity is down but the fact that it's even at a third is damned impressive on its own considering how ambitious a plan it is. And we have fakers like Buttigieg who try to triangulate with a Medicare-For-All-Who-Want-It-Plan, which means it's worked to change the conversation.

This article's trending like crazy. Anybody read it?

I don't get the, "Why not forgive mortgage debt?" argument. Maybe that is a good idea; maybe it isn't, but I don't see how, "Why not this?" is an argument? Was it not worth creating Medicare because, "Why not Medicare-for-All?" Was it not worth legalizing gay marriage because, "Why not more kinds of marriage?" Was it not worth eliminating the prohibition of alcohol because, "Why not marijuana, too?" Was it not worth codifying unpaid leave into law because, "Why not paid leave?" There may be a grander idea or another good idea out there, but that doesn't prohibit idea 1 from being good.

Television Bojack Horseman Season 6 (FINAL SEASON)
SaysWho? replied to Spork3245's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
@Spork3245 Fuck, every time I think of the Season 6 mid-season finale, I think, "I can NOT wait until my g/f gets to this," but she doesn't want to binge because she wants to do a lot of other stupid shit like both of us exercising so we improve our health so in our older age, we're functional and live a happier life. It's gonna take a while to get to it and it makes me so impatient. Fuck, I wish she'd be down for a binge to at least get further into the story some more. -
Here are JJ's specific words on it: "That was probably one of the mistakes I made in that. My thinking at the time was that Chewbacca, despite the pain he was feeling, was focused on trying to save Finn and getting him taken care of. So I tried to have Chewbacca go off with him and focus on Rey, and then have Rey find Leia and Leia find Rey. The idea being that both of them being strong with the Force and never having met, would know about each other — that Leia would have been told about her beyond what we saw onscreen and Rey of course would have learned about Leia. And that reunion would be a meeting and a reunion all in one, and a sort of commiseration of their mutual loss. Had Chewbacca not been where he was, you probably wouldn’t have thought of it. But because he was right there, passed by Leia, it felt almost like a slight, which was definitely not the intention." Emphasis mine. That's what I thought the first time I watched it. Both are strong with the Force; they just have this feeling they know each other. But when people mentioned, "Yo, why'd she not console Chewie?" that's when I noticed the issue.

I've wanted to play Heart & Stone and Blood & Wine along with Witcher 3. I know you have a standalone option for both, but given that your choices affect the game, I've wanted to play it in one lump sum. But the length was soooooooo long when I played just the base game that I've never, ever gotten around to it.

Television Bojack Horseman Season 6 (FINAL SEASON)

I don't even know the reason, but the creator seems really happy with how it went down: That said, he's said that he would have had more stories to tell, so another season or two would have been cool. I certainly wouldn't have minded! -
First, it certainly is about misery loving company. 100%. It's why a significant minority of people oppose raising the minimum wage. "Why do they deserve $15 an hour and I don't?" "Why can an addict get access to this but this non-addict can't?" The argument should always be, "Why am I not also being paid more?" "Why am I getting stiffed by these rich cats?" Until we get away from the former, it will always, always, always be about misery loving company. Putting that aside, the problem with this argument is that it's full of hypotheticals that can be applied to everything. Should we even do Medicare, or will we eventually have to give it to everyone? Should we allow interracial people to get married, or will that eventually lead to gay marriage and polygamy? Should we do unpaid leave, or will that lead to parental leave? It also assumes someone in debt was irresponsible by default. We're in a society where we tell people to go to college -- and much of this came from a generation who didn't -- and tell people just to look for a bunch of scholarships. We offer few affordable ways to pay off student debt, and few ways to save enough that you won't accrue debt. Let's also get away from the idea that thinking debt should be eliminated is some kind of deep end. The deep end is opposition to it:

Part 2 is being developed currently I've been of the opinion that as long as this feels like multiple full-length games, then it'll easily justify the purchase.
